Here's to a successful kidding season at Dancing Frog Farm!

The 2010 kidding season has come to a close Dancing Frog Farm! We had eight kids total, with seven going to fantastic new homes and Thyme's Easter Lily retained. Check back in the fall for the 2011 kidding schedule.

Show Season

Showing your Nigerian Dwarf doe or buck is a great way to see how s/he meets breed standards compared to other goats of similar age.

When packing for a goat show, remember to bring...

  • registration papers, health certificate, print out of the registration for the show
  • portable dog pen if the show is not at a location where stalls are available, tarp (to shade 1/2 the pen), bungee cords (to hold the tarp)
  • hay bag and a few flakes of hay, grain (breakfast), feed tub, water jugs, bucket, treats
  • leather show collars, leather lead (especially when showing kids--all that bending over can be a real pain in your back!), brushes for last minute touch ups
  • baby wipes, rags/paper towels for clean ups
  • milk stand/supplies to milk out after your adult doe's class
